HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERALD LEVERT! RIP

Happy birthday to your favorite “Teddy Bear,” Gerald LeVert, was a fan favorite in the “Quiet Storm,” with your “Voice Of The Night” Marco Spoon, I met Gerald many year ago and interview him on numerous occasions he was the nicest guy you ever want to me.

A contemporary soul singer whose smooth yet robust vocals brought energy and emotion to even his most serene recordings, Gerald LeVert grew up in the shadows of his father, Eddie LeVert, Sr., of the O’Jays. As a child, his father’s status in the music industry nurtured and helped prepare Gerald for his prosperous music career as a writer, arranger, producer, and performer. As Gerald was entering his adulthood, he, good friend Marc Gordon, and his brother Sean formed the trio LeVert. They recorded their first single, entitled “I’m Still,” on the independent Tempre label. Even though Gerald was still maturing as a vocalist, his powerful, stirring delivery on the single is worthy of praise.
